SimpliSafe Home Security App holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SimpliSafe Home Security App has 323K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of SimpliSafe Home Security App's written reviews are positive against 100% of CHeKT.com's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
